Kodak and Kickstarter Want to Help You Shoot on Film

Kickstarter and the Eastman Kodak Company are launching an initiative to help cinematographers bring their vision to life utilizing 35mm or super-16mm film.

Four directors have already been announced as the premiere participants and will launch Kickstarter campaigns this spring: Derek Ahonen (The Transcendents), Antonio Ferrera (Nomad of Art), Daniel Levin (Bagatelle) and R. Paul Wilson (DarkFall).

Once future program participants are selected, Kodak will provide either 35mm or s16mm film (negative, intermediate, or print stock) of the filmmaker’s choice:

● 20% match of the first $100,000 raised by the filmmaker on Kickstarter in list price 35mm (Not to exceed $20,000)

● 15% match of the first $100,000 raised by the filmmaker on Kickstarter in list price s16mm (Not to exceed $15,000)
